The ship makes regular three- to seven-day sailings from Southern California to Mexico.
Italy and Mexico are separated by an ocean and a gulf, and yet the two countries share much in common. They both speak a romance language, fly a similar green, white and red national flag, and when it comes to soccer — or football as it’s called in these birthplaces of pastas and tostadas — their mutual obsession is at fever pitch.
The Costa logo on Firenze’s funnel, overlooking the challenging ropes course, is a piece of intentional legacy. Back to that limoncello. On Firenze’s seven-day inaugural cruise, the 20 guest and service bars reportedly served about 2,700 glasses of the Italian-rooted spirit. Early-adopting adult cruisers may have been motivated by the immersive Italian architecture that begins when the gangway ends — at the entrance of a three-deck, love-at-first-sight atrium modeled after Florence’s magnificent main public square. When the gorgeous Piazza del Duomo hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.
The Carnival WaterWorks park on Firenze is wetter and wilder than what was on the ship in her former Costa days. The multi-level slides are such good, clean fun. During the brand transformation, Carnival added two hot tubs to the premium digs for Terrazza guests, matching what is offered in the exclusive Havana neighborhood on most other Vista-class ships.
